Dear Bruce, I am researcher from ICIQ, Spain and we produced some data at ALBA synchrotron light facility in Barcelona ,Spain. My question is about Demeter software in administrator mode. It works in only admin mode so it can’t be used to normal users in our institute workgroup. Is there any solution to this problem ?
Atul, First off, I am CCing my answer to the Ifeffit mailing list, which is the appropriate venue for questions about the software. You can join the mailing list at http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit Secondly, I provide instructions for submitting a useful and actionable bug report at http://bruceravel.github.com/demeter/pods/bugs.pod.html The advantage of following those instructions is that, including sending the log file with the initial report, it expedites my ability to understand the problem you are having. Finally, I think I recognize the problem you are having. Demeter attempts to write to "%APPDAtA%\demeter" where %APPDATA% is typically C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ on Win 7 and C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\ on Win XP. In the last release, I attempted to fix a problem whereby "%APPDAtA%\demeter" was not created at the time of installation. Athena or Artemis would then try to write to that location and fail because that folder did not exist. My "solution" in the last release was not correct and I hope to fix that in the upcoming release. The likliest solution to your problem is to create that folder by hand for each user, then try running the programs again. If that does not work, then please report back *to* *the* *mailing* *list* and I will again try to figure out what the problem is.
